Party games for a group

Drop a pin on the map: famous landmarks, countries on a blank map, famous people's birthplaces, and a compass round with no map at all. The closest player claims that patch of the world in their color, and the biggest empire wins.

How well do you really know each other? Everyone secretly answers questions about themselves, then the others split ten chips across the options. Bet against the whole table, be right, and you get paid triple.

Everyone draws their own secret word, and nobody knows the full phrase, not even the artists. The drawings go up side by side, the table hunts for the link while the timer gives away letters, then everyone votes for the best clue.

Everyone writes at once, each in a different story, seeing only the last few words before their turn. The game picks the format (group chat, courtroom, obituary), and there are no points or winners: at the end, it all gets read aloud.

A co-op game about talking fast. Everyone has a lock on their phone, but the instructions for it are on someone else's. Read them out loud, double-check the numbers and crack the safe before time runs out.

Everyone draws the same word, and an AI running in the host's browser scores how close each drawing gets, in percent. Then the table votes for its favorites, and some rounds are blind, speed-only or black-and-white.

A string of emoji hides a movie, a song or a place. Type the answer before everyone else: the more hints that appear, the less it's worth, and an AI on the host's device accepts typos and close answers.

You get a real fact. Swap one word so nobody notices, then hunt for the lie in everyone else's. The bolder the swap, the bigger your multiplier, and fooling the whole table pays a bonus on top.

Every answer is a number: how many, how far, how long. Everyone types a guess on their phone, then the markers drop onto a scale one by one. The closer you are, the more you score.

One set of letters, sixty seconds, one word. Longer words multiply your score, highlighted letters are worth double or triple, and poisoned letters turn up near the end. Submit the same word as someone else and you both get zero.

A set of party games where a shared screen runs the game and each phone becomes a controller: geography trivia, blind drawing, spot-the-lie, story building, emoji decoding.

Same idea as a Jackbox Party Pack: one screen for everyone, phones instead of controllers, a room code to join. The differences: it is free, there is nothing to buy or download, and a host can start in about thirty seconds.

Open the site on the big screen, pick a game and hit “Create room”. A QR code and a four-letter room code appear. Everyone scans the QR or opens partyjam.tv/en/play on their phone, types the code, and you play. Up to 10 people can play — all you need is a browser.

Every game is free right now — no sign-up, no ads.
